The James L. McGaugh Chair Endowment Campaign
The James L. McGaugh Chair honors Dr. McGaugh’s enormous contribution to the CNLM, his seminal contributions to the field of learning and memory, and his service to UCI and the community.
The Chair will be held by a UCI professor who is also a Fellow of the CNLM. The tenure of the chair will be for five years, after which it will be relinquished to a subsequent awardee.
The award of the Chair will be in recognition of the quality and importance of the professor’s research program, and will carry with it funding that can be used to enhance the holder’s research in a variety of ways, for example, by supporting a graduate student or junior researcher, or developing a new line of research to the point where it is a ready to attract federal funding. The Chair will be awarded on the recommendation of an appointment committee, chaired by the current Director of the CNLM, and comprising representatives of the schools of biological, social and medical sciences.
The creation of the McGaugh Chair requires the establishment of an endowment with a value of at least $1.5 million dollars.
